Attracted by the easier access to local markets, many foreign companies have formed manufacturing joint ventures in China. One of the key elements of successful international joint venture (IJV) manufacturing in China is the management of suppliers, since the supply chain plays an essential role in contributing to both the quality of finished products and controlling costs. Supplier management in Chinese IJVs is an under-researched area and so an exploratory study of five manufacturers was conducted using a case study approach. The results show the difficulties faced by IJVs which are in attempting to maintain quality levels at the same time as trying to reduce costs by purchasing materials and components locally. In addition to identifying important implications for companies, the research shows the need for further investigation of the contextual aspects of good supplier management.

“…Although the concept of total quality management has been emphasised in China for the past decade, effective quality systems have seldom been achieved and the standard of manufactured goods and components is often variable (Martinsons and Tseng, 1995b). The lack of high-quality local suppliers has led many joint ventures to extend their own quality control and training programmes to include their Chinese suppliers (ibid).…”

“…The relationships with suppliers are a complex and crucial part of IJV manufacturing management Tseng, 1995a and1995b;Tsang, 1995). One team of researchers concluded that "sourcing of materials and components is a serious issue for IJVs in China" (Pan et al, 1995) and the Chinese authorities often exert pressure on companies to purchase from specific suppliers.…”
